Clay Aiken Welcomes a Baby Boy!

Fri, 08 August 2008 at 11:41 am

American Idol star Clay Aiken is officially a father!

Clay, 29, and music producer friend Jaymes Foster, welcomed a baby boy in his home-state of North Carolina Friday morning, Aiken’s mother Faye told local TV station WRAL.

Faye reported the boy’s name is Parker Foster Aiken, and was born at 8:08 a.m. weighing 6 pounds, 2 ounces. He was 19 inches long.

Back in May, it was first reported that Jaymes Foster was artificially inseminated with Clay’s sperm and his rep later confirmed that. Clay and Jaymes will reportedly raise the child together even though they are not romantically linked.

Congratulations to Clay and Jaymes!

Well, this certainly prooves two things.

For starters—-he´s a bit crazy in the brain.

And this also goes to show you that he is gay. But since he´s so big on his reliogion he wouldn´t dare come out.

Or why else would a “man” want to have a child with such an old women, without being with her??

Wow, the understanding of sexuality here is truly mind blowing.

If the man if gay, that’s his buisness. Leave him be. None of you have the slightest right to judge him and far less right to assume he will abuse HIS OWN CHILD because of his sexuality.

He had a kid. Deal.

I have no problem with Clay being gay, but I do have a problem with him conceiving a child with a 50 year old woman whom he is not romantically involved. It is simply going to be puzzling to the child when most other kids have a normal domestic family.

I can’t imagine how this kid is going to react once he realizes that the two were never romantically linked, and he was conceived out of a gay man’s want for a child. Clay should have adopted; it is not right to inflict this kind of confusion and undoubted ridicule upon an innocent child.

LOL. I’m from NC and it’s so funny hearing people mention WRAL and Lynda Loveland (Jared didn’t mention her - but several other sites did, like People Magazine). What’s even more creepy is Clay’s uncle lives in my town, so I’m sure we’re gonna have to put up with some big story on the front page of our Saturday paper.

Even though I’m not a big fan of Clay - all he’s really good for is making people shudder - I hope he and Jaymes are happy!

About the name - I think the name Parker is cute, but I’m not sure about Foster as the middle name. Too many “er”s for my liking.

Ok Diamonds or whatever your homophobe name is, the statement you made that gay people were abused as children…where the F*** did you get your facts. Yes there may be some that were, and thats horrible. But who the hell cares if he is gay or not, The gay community are just like us, doctors, lawyers, teachers, celebs. Check your facts, cause you KINDA made your self look like a under-educated ass

Morganbee @ 08/08/2008 at 3:34 pm

Oh and all this stuff about him being gay, its all an assumption. He has NEVER come out and said he was gay. No i am not a fan of clay, I just think these BS speculations are stupid

Morganbee @ 08/08/2008 at 3:34 pm

And thank you Passerby, WELL PUT!

Funny, her names is Jaymes.

I think Clay will be a very good father. I think he really loves children. The mother is probably a lesbian or an older woman who cannot sustain relationships and just wanted a baby. Since she obviously has a deep friendship with Clay, she probably knows he would make the best dad, so they did this.

I don’t feel sorry for them. The baby will know his father and these people have money and extended family, so the rearing of the kid should go well.

Congrats to them.

he has a sick mind…to have that desire to father a child invitro with a 50 year old is really creepy…clay has not even made peace with his own father and is still bad mouthing the dead man so i don’t know what kind of father he’ll be…very weird and sicko for sure…
